I love everything around learning, it is a goal in life to increase my knowledge. With this though, I tend to read too far into things or even overanalyze various aspects. Overall, I'm a pretty chill guy, and I pride myself on what I know on various topics from history to politics and philosophy.

I feel that I am a smart, attractive funny young woman who isn't living up to her potential which makes me very sad. Probably because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual. But seriously, I'm a pretty charismatic and funny guy. I know sometimes my dryer humor can be a little off-putting and make me come off as a bit of an asshole but I'm not blatantly rude to people.

For the most part I am friendly and polite. Like everyone I have my problems. I have trouble reading the extent of the relationship I have some people.

And much to my surprise, my inbox exploded with responses. Many of them were immediately deleted—you know, pictures of genitals and all that. Craigslist will always be Craigslist. Some were practically unintelligible, so I moved past them pretty quickly, too. The guy could spell and knew how to use punctuation.

He seemed warm and friendly and smart, and appreciative of what I had to say. The fact that he liked to cook earned him points, too. Ladies, I think we can all admit that we get a little swoony over a man who knows his way around the kitchen—men, pay attention!
